I lead the Scalable Developer Advocacy team as part of the Developer Relations organization at Google.

I'm an Android expert, having previously been the tech lead for Google's Android Developer Relations team, and I'm the author of the Professional Android Application Development series of Android books from Wrox. The latest fully revised and expanded Professional Android 4 Application Development is available now.

I'm currently living in Los Altos California, but I'm from Perth Western Australia originally and spent 6 years living and working in London. I've been a software developer for over 10 years. Before Google I spent some time working on oil rigs and investment banking where I wrote C# WinForms GUIs.
